Two of the biggest shopping events in the retail calendar are now just weeks away, with thousands of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals about to be unleashed – and that's just from Amazon. To make sure you grab the best creative bargain around, we've put together this guide to help you work out what to look out for, and how to find the best deals at Amazon on Black Friday and Cyber Monday in 2018.

As one of its daily deals, Jos. A. Bank discounts a selection of its Jos. A. Bank men's dress shirts to $19 $19.97 (Traveler Collection Slim Fit Dress Shirt pictured). Plus, Bank Account Rewards members get free shipping. (Not a member? It's free to join.) It's not the lowest price we've seen on most of these shirts, but each style is still discounted by a substantial $51; stock is also better than usual for these sales. Deal ends today.

Does anyone really like vacuuming? Sure it gets your home clean, but it's so tedious to do it every day, just to clean it again tomorrow. Thankfully, robot vacuums exist to do the dirty work for you, so you don't have to. After testing the Ecovacs Deebot N79, we found that it had above average pickup and rarely gets stuck, but it did take a bit of time to clean. Right now, you can get the upgraded Ecovacs Deebot N79S, which has Alexa connectivity and slightly enhanced cleaning, for $30 off if you click the little coupon box below the price tag.

As a reader discovered, BJ's Wholesale Club offers the Dyson V6 Animal Bagless Cordless Stick Vacuum in Slate Grey for $199.99 with free shipping. That's tied with last month's mention as the best price we've ever seen for a new unit. (It's a current low by $79.) It features a Dyson digital V6 motor, and includes a mini motorized tool, mini soft dusting brush, docking station, combination tool, and crevice tool.

On Amazon, the basic search lets you filter returns on the left side-rail by product specifications, brands and reviews. Once you start to narrow your search, you can define it further by price and discount. The fewer restrictions you put on your search, the higher the number of returns. For example, many people mistakenly only search for items with “Free Shipping”, which could exclude better deals.

The company has also invested in a number of growing firms, both in the United States and Internationally.[67][68] In 2014, Amazon purchased top level domain .buy in auction for over $4 million.[69][70] The company has invested in brands that offer a wide range of services and products, including Engine Yard, a Ruby-on-Rails platform as a service company,[71] and Living Social, a local deal site.[72]

Hydration is key. That's why I always make sure I have a water bottle on me. This one from Brita is the best affordable water bottle we've ever tested because it has an in-bottle filter to remove flavors and odors in the water and it has a soft squeeze, making it easy to drink from while walking or hiking. Right now, it's at one of its lowest pricing, so it's a good option to throw in a backpack or work bag.

In November 2013, Amazon.com announced a partnership with the United States Postal Service to begin delivering orders on Sundays. The service, included in Amazon's standard shipping rates, initiated in metropolitan areas of Los Angeles and New York due to the high-volume and inability to deliver timely, with plans to expand into Dallas, Houston, New Orleans and Phoenix by 2014.[79]

Amazon acquired Junglee in 1998, and the website Junglee.com was launched in India in February 2012[115] as a comparison-shopping website. It curated and enabled searching for a diverse variety of products such as clothing, electronics, toys, jewelry and video games, among others, across thousands of online and offline sellers. Millions of products are browse-able, whereby the client selects a price, and then they are directed to a seller. In November 2017, Amazon closed down Junglee.com and the former domain currently redirects to Amazon India.[116]

In May 2018, Amazon threatened the Seattle City Council over an employee head tax proposal that would have funded houselessness services and low-income housing. The tax would have cost Amazon about $800 per employee, or 0.7% of their average salary.[202] In retaliation, Amazon paused construction on a new building, threatened to limit further investment in the city, and funded a repeal campaign. Although originally passed, the measure was soon repealed after an expensive repeal campaign spearheaded by Amazon.[203]

For the past few holiday seasons, these apps have been saving shoppers the trouble of searching for a deal online before driving to local stores to see if they can beat it. There are apps to help the tech-deficient choose a gift for the tech-addicted, lighten the load of loyalty cards, predict prices and product releases to minimize buyer's (and receiver's) remorse, and offer up rewards.

Before picking up this excellent book, I was wary of online shopping -- and I still am, but now I'm intelligently wary. The authors do a marvelous job of helping understand what you can trust and what you can't, how online shopping works in all its various manifestations, and what strategies to use when you do shop online. The book showed me that online shopping is not (as I had thought) just for shopping addicts who need a fix 24 hours a day, but a great space for intelligent and discerning consumers. I'm still not a big spender online (or anywhere), but I've used the book to help me find some things I couldn't find anywhere else and at surprising prices. I think this book is going to go down in the so-far brief history of online commerce as a milestone achievement. It has certainly changed my views about WWW commerce and made me a better consumer. I can't say enough about this expansive, easy-to-use, fun, and informative work. I hope they plan to update this work regularly.
